Help Obama STOP the NRA attack ads in swing states! (if you live in one, please help!)
Dear xxxx,

The NRA is currently attacking Barack Obama with TV ads that are so deceptive they are not fit for broadcast.

The ads purposefully misrepresent Barack's position on illegal guns to scare and mislead voters -- the non-partisan Factcheck.org concluded that claims in the ads are simply "false."

TV stations airing them have the legal authority to prevent the broadcast of false and misleading advertising, and they will respond if their viewers apply enough pressure.

You're receiving this message because these ads are running on TV stations in your community.

Send an email to TV advertising representatives in your local media market and demand they take down the NRA's false attack ads.

Barack Obama has consistently maintained that he believes the Constitution creates an individual right to bear arms, and he greatly respects the rights of hunters and sportsmen.

But that hasn't stopped the NRA from attacking, and there are too many worried voters who might be swayed by watching these lies.

Obama for America's lead attorney just sent the stations running these ads a legal memorandum establishing the ads as false, misleading, and deceptive and requesting they immediately cease airing.

But the stations will feel the pressure much more strongly if they start receiving emails from their viewers like you.

Once the lies in these ads get established in people's minds, it will be very hard to reach them with the truth about Barack's position. That's why we need to act now to push back.

With our easy-to-use letter writing tool, it's simple to write and send an email to your local TV ad rep. Check it out now and stand up for the truth:

Keep fighting the good fight,
